Raindrops fall vertically at 7.5 m/s relative to the Earth. What does an observer in a car moving at 20.2 m/s in a straight line

measure as the velocity of the raindrops? (Assume the car is moving to the right and that the +x-axis is to the right. Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Answer:

vDP = 21.7454 m/s

θ = 200.3693°

Explanation:

Given

vDE = 7.5 m/s

vPE = 20.2 m/s

Required:  vDP

Assume that

vDE to be in direction of - j

vPE to be in direction of i

According to relative motion concept the velocity vDP is given by

vDP = vDE - vPE     (I)

Substitute in (I) to get that

vDP = - 7.5 j - 20.2 i

The magnitude of vDP is given by

vDP = √((- 7.5)²+(- 20.2)²) m/s =  21.7454 m/s

θ = Arctan (- 7.5/- 20.2) = 20.3693°

θ is in 3rd quadrant so add 180°

θ = 20.3693° + 180° = 200.3693°

Which of these experiments tests a chemical property of an object??

<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects and testing for decomposition </span> <span>      

In explanation, chemical property is a characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

Hope this help

Charra [1.4K]

K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

<h3 /><h3>Is charge appears when an atom lose or accept electron?</h3>

Yes, the positive ion appears on K and become cation whereas the negative ion bears on Br which make it anion because of losing and gaining of electron by these atoms. This transferring of electrons leads to formation of ionic bonds between them.

So we can conclude that K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

  • <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.
